Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School


Summary:

Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School district. With 299 students enrolled, the school has a diverse student population, with 50.84% African American, 39.8% white, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and multiracial students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

Despite the school's economic disadvantage, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's spending per student is relatively high at $20,025. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to ensure that funds are being used in the most impactful way to support student learning and achievement. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 suggests a more personalized learning environment, but this has not translated to stronger academic outcomes.

Overall, the Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School faces significant challenges in improving the academic performance of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. A comprehensive review of the school's educational practices, resource allocation, and support systems may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better serve the needs of its students.
